Autumn Moon

Chapter four

Chases POV

I picked Mica up and carried him out of the room his mother was in, Rock closing the door behind us. I knew the little boy was worried about his mom. You could just feel the bond the two of them had for each other. I don't think I have ever seen a mother, son bond this strong.

When we found them I couldn't believe the state she was in. As a wolf, I know I'm very protective over my mate and pup. And with her having Mica, I know she must have a mate somewhere out there. He must be going insane trying to find them.

Wait... I didn't see her mark, did I? Maybe I missed it?

As we walked up the flight of stairs leading to my brothers office, Mica started to play with the hair on the nape of my neck, while laying his head on my shoulder. I Let out a soft chuckle which caused him to jump.

"Hey you're good little dude." I said patting him on the back. "It just tickled a little."

Mica nodded and continued to play with my hair.

I hope Ashton goes easy on the couple. My brother hates rouges, but wolf packs are always sure to protect women and children no mater what pack they are from.

"Here we are." Rock said.

Mica lifted his head off my shoulder and looked at us with a scared look.

"Hey little pup, don't be scared. The alpha likes to see tough little dudes." He said picking up micas Chin so he was looking him in the eye.

"But I'm not tough.." Mica said.

Rock smiled, "you're not?"

Mica shook his head.

"Well I surely thought you were when you were out in the woods protecting your mom." Rock said. "Hey, can you do me a favor and do that again?"

Micas eyes lit up.

"Look when we go in there, act like your out in the woods. Just don't be as wolfy though." I said laughing at the last part. I wasn't sure how to explain it so he would understand so that's what I came up with.

Mica smiled and nodded.

I put him down so he could walk in behind us.

Knock knock knock

Rock knocked on the door and took a step back.

"Enter." We heard my brothers deep strong voice say.

Rock opened the door and we step through. Mica following closely behind us.

"Where the hell have you two been?" Ashton bellowed at us. "I sent you out three hours ago to find those damn rouges!"

"I'm sorry sir." Rock started. "We found them, the rouges you smelled but um-"

Ashton held a hand up to stop him from speaking and pointed at my legs. I looked down and saw a nervous Mica clinging to my leg.

"Who's this?" Ashton asked, his face softening a little.

"That's what-" I started but then heard Mica.

Mica step forward and put his hands behind his back standing at attention, looking my brother in his eyes.

"My name is Mica, Mica Easton Jones." He started. "My mommy has been hurt really bad and she needs help."

Ashton's look of anger faded to sympathy.

"Sir. This is one of the 'rouges' we found. His mother being the other." I said.

"A women and child?" Ashton questioned in shock.

I nodded.

"How bad off is his mother?" Ashton asked.

"She was passed out with a low pulse when we found her." Rock said. "They were barely with in our territory. I'm surprised you were able to smelled them."

"How long has she been out?" He questioned again, Standing from his desk.

"She said she needed to take a nap and it has gotten dark 2 times since then." Mica said, relaxing a little bit. "I told her to lay down and rest and I was gonna protect her while she slept so I did. I kept my mommy safe till they found us." He finished pointing at us.

Ashton step out from behind his desk and kneeled down in front of Mica.

"Mica, can you tell me how old you are?" He asked.

Mica held up four fingers, "I'm this many." He said.

I smiled at him. He's so cute, and very well mannered.

Ashton's eyes grew wide. I knew what he was thinking. How Could a four year old be so brave to stay awake For two days straight and protect his mommy.

"And you stayed awake for two days straight protecting your mommy?" Ashton asked him what we were all thinking.

"And almost tore our heads off when we found them."Rock added. "He wasn't letting anyone or thing get to her."

Ashton smiled down at Mica hearing how brave he is.

"Yes I did. My mommy hasn't slept at all since she had me; protecting me from that evil man that was hurting her." Mica said.

My heart dropped and Ashton's face grew angry and worried.

Mica gasps. "Oh no... I wasn't supposed to say that. I broke my promise to my mommy. She's gonna be so mad at me." Tears started to form in Micas eyes.

"What do you mean Mica?" Ashton Asked scooping him up in his arms and standing.

"Before we ran away, mommy made me promise that no matter what happen to her I wouldn't tell anyone were we came form so we wouldn't get sent back." Mica hesitated... "please don't send us back. If we go back that ugly man will kill my mommy and I dont want to lose my mommy." He pleaded.

Ashton brushes his hair out of his eyes. "You don't have to worry about a thing Mica. I will never send you away from here." He reassured the little pup.

"Now, how bout we go see if we can help your mommy." Ashton said looking at both me and rock.

Mica nodded and smiled; and we all four headed out the door.
